ITONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'cK The di scoun t market this morning has CL be o . en in somewhat of a perturbed state, owing to the non• delivery at the usual hour of the letters from the northern towns. The delay originated through some accident, and as discounters did not know what transactions they might be called upon to undertake great reluctance was shown to negotiate securities. The mercantile public were naturally anxious to provide themselves with plenty of ac commodation, in case higher rates should be asked, and the brokers could not be prevailed upon to negotiate the best short-dated paper at less than 9 per cent. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been very little animation. The operations in tea have been on the most limited scale, while transactions in sugar, coffee, and rice have been restricted to immediate home requirements, at rather lower rates. In tallow however, there have been moderate transactions, at steady quotations, for both present and forward, delivery. A further sum of £26,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Syria, which left this morning for Bombay, took out £19,300 in gold, and £56,925 in silver; making together £76,225. A call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the Egyptian Cimmercial and Trading Company. The directors of the London and Northern Bank have made a call of £5 per share, with a view of carrying out the pending arrangements for the transfer of the business of the Leeds Banking Com pany to the London and Northern Bank. The paid. up capital of the London and Northern Bank will thus be increased to £175,000. Two O'CLOCK. At the half yearly meeting tosday of the Finan• cial Discount Company a dividend of 5 per cent. for the past six months, being equal to 10 per cent. per annum, was declared. The non -confirmation of rumours respecting more failures assisted to impart a firmer tone to the Eng lish Stock market, and for a short time a little buoyancy was perceptible. The improvement, however, was of short duration, and Consols are again 87i 88 for money, and 888 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 86k a ; Exchequer Bills for March, 14s to 12s die.; India S per Cents., 1034 104 ; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 100 ; and the Bonds, 18s. dis. The Foreign Stock Market opened with a rather More buoyant appearance, bat a partial relapse has since occurred. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 69 ,1 704 ; do. Consolides, 501 a ; Mexican, 27 ; do.

Business in the Railway Share Market has not been very active, although prices in several instances have slightly improved. Midland have advanced 10 s, North Western 108, Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s, and Great Western 10s ; Great Eastern, how ever, have receded ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines continue without Material change. For Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a moderate inquiry. Alliance have advanced to 45 6; Imperial to 32 3 ; Metropolitan and Pro vincial to 19; Imperial Mercantile Credit to 7k; and London Financial to 21k.

POST OFFICt ROBBERY.—William Edward Ducrow, a letter-3arrier attached to the West Central District Office, 126, High Holborn, was charged with stealing a letter, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster General. Mr Gardiner, one of the senior clerks in the Post-office, said—The prisoner was one of the letter carriers employed at the Branch Post-office, 126, High Holborn, In consequence of the numerous losses of letters from that station, be was directed to test the honesty of persons engaged there. He according'y enclosed 57 penny postage stamps in an envelope, directed it, " Mr. Burns, 10, Great Russell• sweet, Bloomsbury," and handed it to Mr Clare to post. Witness went to the West Central District Post-office about 4 o'clock the same afternoon, and the prisoner was brought into a private room and informed that a letter containing postage stamps was missing, addressed as above. Ho denied all knowledge of the letter, but on being searched by the officer a leather purse was taken from one of his pockets, in which was found 57 postage stamps. On the prisoner being questioned as to how he came into possession of the stamp's, ho said he had purchased them on Saturday afternoon of a friend in the street. The stamps were those he (witness) enclosed in the test letter yesterday. Mr Willis Clare, inspector of letter carriers, said he posted the letter in question yesterday in the early part of the day at the West Central Office in High Holborn, calling the attention of Mr Cook to the circumstance. Mr Thomas Cook, inspector of letter—carriers, at the West Central District, said in consequence of what he heard from Mr Clare, he went to the letter-box at the office and took a letter addressed to Mr Burns, 10, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, from the box. He afterwards placed it amongst those to be delivered by the prisoner, although the letter was not properly in his own delivery. He ought to have placed it aside in order that it might be delivered to the letter-carrier in whose delivery Great Russell-street was included. He did not do so. The prisoner had been in the service of the Post-office four or five years, and re ceived a salary of 24s per week. Crocker, the constable attached to the West Central Post-office, said he searched the prisoner and found the property produced in a purse in one of his pockets. The prisoner, who made no defence, was fully committed for trial. The solicitor to the post-office, in answer to the magis trate, said the prisoner was about 24 years of age. There was a silver watch, and about 18s. found on his person, and as they had no reason to suspect that they formed any por tion of a robbery, he hoped they might be delivered to the prisoner's wife, the poor woman being very near her con finement. Mr Flower said thore would be no objection to such a course. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SISTEMATIC ROBBING OF CHILDREN —COMMITTAL; -- Elizabeth Smith, about 18 years of ago, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with robbing several children, between the ages of six and nine years, of their clothing, &c. A number of children who had been robbed were in attendance. In the first case the prisoner stopped a child named Eliza Smith, who with her parents reside at No. 8, Berwick-street, St. James's, and asked her to hold a purse for her while she fastened her dress. The child did as requested, and then the prisoner asked her what she had in her hand. The child showed the prisoner 16s 3d, which she was on the way home with to her father, and the prisoner, under the pretence of wrapping the money up in paper for the child, took the money from her and then handed the parcel back to the child, who, after the prisoner had left, opened it and found it to con ain only three penny pieces. The child subsequently seeing the prisoner in the streets spoke to a person, who detained the prisoner till she was taken into custody. In the second ease the prisoner accosted a little girl named Elizabeth Ives, residing with her parents at No. 3, Caven dish-mews, telling her that she would drop a bundle con• taining some sheets and other articles if she was not careful. The prisoner then offered to carry the bundle for the child, which offer was accepted, and the prisoner under some pretence got away with the bundle. In the third case a little girl, named Elizabeth Goldby, residing in Peter-street, St. James's, was stopped by the prisoner on her leaving a grocer's with some tea and sugar. The prisoner took the tea and sugar, and some change from the child, and then told her that if she would let her take off her boots and jacket sho would go and buy her a new pair of white boots: The prisoner then took the child into a pawnbroker's and there left her, promising to return, which, of course, she did not. Police constable Castle, 69 C, said there were several other charges against the prisoner. Mr Tyrwhitt said he considerAd the three charges already preferred sufficient, and, after cautioning the prisoner, asked her whether she wished to say anything in answer to the charges ? The prisoner said she had robbed one of the children, but not the others. Mr. Tyzwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. A SHAMEFUL CHARGE OF FELONY: Patrick Marler, James Quinland, and John Dowd, three young men who get their living by hard work, were placed in the felon's dock charged with stealing a watch and chain, value £9, the property of James M'Donald. Prosecutor said that on Sunday afternoon he went to visit his mother-in-law, at 7, Fulham-bridge-yard, Knights bridge, and remained there till between 11 and 12 at night. Towards the latter part of that time a quarrel arose between himself and brother-in-law, and they had a fight or scuff's. When it was over, and prosecutor (who had gone away) sent for his coat, waistcoat, and watch, which he had before the fight thrown upon the bed, he missed his watch and chain. The three prisoners had come into the room to separate the parties in the fight, and they were given into custody for the robbery. In cross-examination by Mr Smyth, solicitor for the pri soners, prosecutor admitted that he had been drinking freely, and gave so confused and unsatisfactory account of the whole transaction that no dependence could be placed upon his testimony, and he was ordered to stand out of the witness-box. Prosecutor's mother-in.-law and wife were called, but did not carry the case a bit further against the accused. Their evidence, on the contrary, went to show that there were other pereons in the room after the fight, and that prosecutor gave his brother-in-law into custody for the robbery on Sunday night, and afterwards charged the three prisoners, although ho had himself, in cross-examination, expressed great doubt as to whether Dowd was even in the room from which the watch had been stolen. Prosecutor's brother-in-law was examined, but his evi dence did not in the slightest degree affect the prisoners, whom ho said came in to separate them while fighting. Mr. Arnold—ls the watch and chain found? Police—No, your Worship, it is not. Mr. Arnold—ls there any further evidence against these men ? Police—No, there is not. Mr. Arnold—There is not the slightest* case against them. They are discharged. THAMES. My NElGnßc)uu's Sox.—Bartholomew M'Cabe, a strange looking man, about 25 years of age, who has given an immense deal of trouble to his own father and family, to the police, to his neighbours, and to the magistrates of this court in the course of the last seven years, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being on the premises of Joseph Porter, coal merchant, of No 2, Devonport-street, Ratcliff, for an unlawful purpose. The prosecutor said the prisoner was a neighbour's son. This morning between one and two o'clock he was knocked up by a police-constable, and he saw that the gate leading to his stables was open, and the prisoner in custody. He had repeatedly warned tho prisoner off the premises. lie had lost fowls, rope, harness, brass off his van, and other property after the prisoner's visits, but, as he was a neigh bour's son, ho did not take any legal proceedings aping, him. William Bean, a police-constable, 106 K, said that at half-past one o'clock that morning he saw the prosecutor's gate open and the chain undone. He turned on his light, and saw the prisoner coming from the stable. The pri soner, who had been drinking a little, threw himself on the ground, and said he had only just come into the place. The prisoner had been in custody repeatedly for robbing his father, a tradesman in Devonport-street, and was last con victed for a burglary and robbery in his father's premises, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard la bour. Mr Paget—How long has he been out of prison I' Witness— About six months. The prisoner said he only came out of the workhouse yesterday (Monday) morning, and he _went to Mr Porter's premises to have a lay down• Mr Porter Was a relation. Mr Paget—What relation ? Prisoner—His witJ's husband's brother married his daughter. (Laughter.) A sad history was given of the prisoner's career in his parents' home, and Mr Paget, believing that he went to Mr Porter's premises for a felonious purpose, sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The following is the number of persons which the largest churches in Europe will contain:—St. Peter's, Rome, 51,000 ; cathedral at Milan, 37,000 ; St, Paul's at London, 25,000 ; Ste.

LIVINGSTONE.—Dr. Livingstone has been compelled to decline the invitations to visit Southampton which have been sent to him by the mayor and the Hartley Council, on the ground that he is most anxious to return to India —where he has left his steamer, the Lady Nyassa, and her crew—'A ith as little delay as possible, and has therefore resolved to decline invitations of all kinds. He hopes. how ever to return to England in about a year, when he will be prepared to accept the hospitalities of this and other places —Hampshire Adeerttser. BRITISH MI. .lambrian Consol.

IN RE TURNHAM. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS. COLONIAL. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1864. This bankrupt was described as of the Edgware-road, licensed victualler. The matter came before his honour on reference from the registrar, as to the effect of a deed of composition which had been duly registered, and to a cer tain extent acted upon, but it was subsequently disputed, and an adjudicetion in bankruptcy was made, under which some of the creditors who had signed the deed sought to prove their debts. Mr. Reed now contended that the deed did not represent the whole of the creditors either in number or value, as several debts had been omitted, under these circumstances the deed was invalid and inoperative. Mr Curtis urged, on the contrary, all the requirements of the act had been complied with, and the time had now gone by to dispute it. Mr Reed proposed to call the bankrupt and examine him as to the amount of credit, but His Honour ultimately adjourned the case. IN RE CHAPPELL. This bankrupt was described as of Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, solicitor, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts are stated at about £1,500, and the bankrupt attributes his failure to that of a person named Lockwood of the Edgware-road. Mr Treberne (Treherne and Wolferston) appeared for the assignees, and asked for an adjournment for a month to effect an arrangoramt with the creditors, who consented. Adjourned accordingly.

TEA.--Btisiness has been very inactive, and the few deal ings reported in China descriptions have been about pre vious rates. A small quantity of Indian is announced for public sale to-day. SUGAR.—The market has remained very dull, and a decline of about 6d per cwt. may be quoted on inferior qualities. Good grocery descriptions. however, have main tained previous rates. COFFEE,--There has been a Lair inquiry for colonial descriptions, but the large quantify on offer has tended to depress prices. RICE.—A moderate amount of business has been done, without, however, any material change in prices. TALLOW.—A strong business has been transacted for both present and forward delivery, at about prtvious rates. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 42s 3d ; last three months, 43s 3d; and Januiry to March, 44s 3d per cwt. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3i per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.35 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17sounce ° d. per h gold, it appears that gold is rather cent. dear er i n L on d on th an i n Paris. moretan 3 for . li t standard h e per ii By advie:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London i s 13 .41 per £1 staling. 8 price is, therefore, about 3..tdahe course s r p d gold ero a t ge at i cent. e t xd t ee h ha e ar e E nr n i g n l L s h N b London nedw l ionn than in Hamburg. rii7h the t ork on London f or bill s at 60 days' sight is quoted 278 t. 280 per cent., and the pre mium on gold 157 to 1581 per cent. Goad still continues to be imported in very moderate quantities. A general meeting of shareholders of the Bank of British Columbia took place yesterday. The report presented for adoption stated that the amount of undivided profit at the conclusion of the half year ending 30th June last, was £11,105 16s 6d. Out of this sum the directors propose to appropriate £5,000 to paying a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum, free of income tax; to add £4,000 to the Reserve Fand, which is thereby increased to £6,000; and to carry forward £2,105 16s 6d to the current year. ACCIDENTS ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN Ranway.—Yesterday (Monday) much anxiety was caused in Liverpool in consequence of a rumour that an accident of a very alarming nature had occurred to the London express, due in Liverpool at 12.30 p.m. On making inquiries, however, we learned that the express train ran off the line near Weedon, but, beyond a fright, none of the passengers were injured. In consequence of this mishap there was a delay of between two or three hours in the de livery of the mid-day mails. COST OF THE AMERICAN WAR.—The New York World reckons the cost of the present war thus :—Expen diture on army and navy, 3,000,000,000 dela ; bounties paid by States and towns, 450,000,000 dots; loss for life of the labour of the killed and maim e d, 2,000,000,000 dols ; loss of three years' labour of other soldiers, 8,000,000,000 do's ; property destroyed on the ocean, 300,000,00 0 dole; loss of profits of commerce, 700,000,000 dole ; property destroyed on land, 2,000,000,000 dole ; pensions to wounded and widows for life, 400,000,000 dols—making a total of 15,050,000,000. DENMARK DESERTED B Y ENGLAND —NOT BY WALES !—The Prince and 13110CCEIS of Wales, says the London I?nnetv, continue to be received with the greatest warmth, and even enthusiasm, whenever they appear in public in Denmark. Although their visit is a s trictl y pri vate one, and h as no political sign ifi ca tion, it is impossible not to attach som e meaning to the popu lar g reetin g by which they hav e b een welcomed. It i n di ca tes, no doubt, principally, the pe rsona l popul ar ity of the reigning famil y , but it also shows that the Dams still cling to their indepen dent national existence, and are by no means inolined to submit to absorption by the other Scandinavian kingdom. Had any disposition of this kind existed, it must have made symp a thi se heartily with their K in g itself felt on an c ocas i on of this kind, in coo l nes s and indif ference to the joy s an d sorrows of the ro y a l household. That the people s till and his child Ken, no t withstanding the m i s f or tunes of the country, is a sign:th a t there is no waver i ng in their alle giance to Christian IX —no inclinaiion t o c ast on the mo narch the blame of reverses which he h as been powerless to avert. For Englishmen, the most interes tin g incident of the visit is one which occurred on the arr ival of the royal party at Bernsdorff. I n reply to the welcome which the y met, the King assu re d h is subjects that his daughter's heart was cno with th e i rs, and tha t it had felt and bled for all their sorrows. Thi s is, o f course, nothing more than might have be en expected, an d, had his Majesty stopped there, his speech would have excited little attention. He went on, however, to say that the Prince of Wales shared the feelings of hie wife, and that he too sympathised with Denmark under the grievous wrongs to which she has been subjected. We cannot avoid accepting as perfectly authentic a statement so publicly made in the presence of the Prince of Wales. It amounts, indeed, to no more than we believed before; but at the same time it is satisfactory to know, on unexceptionable auth o . rity, that the heir-apparent to the throne thinks and feels like the great body of his countrymen, and that he at any rate is not drawn by any German connections into predilec tions at variance with those of the English people. Th e King's announcement, which was no doubt made with the consent of his Royal Highness, naturally excited an en thusiastic ladin r reasons©; Great Britain for the pa r t s h e has e de and, whatever resentment may st ill be : t ent events, no portion of it will henc e f ort h be entertainedvisitedp ye uo r en the Prince of Wales. h y i s eh :—"ha v e We have t o just been made ANTIQUARIAN DIGGINGS IN ABERDEENSHIRE. diggings fi lv a in this county. The first was carried out on the 13th ABERDEENSHIRE.—The result tee o f n two Jou rnal ii i e e su instant in several cairn s on the estate of Rothi e, b e l onging , to Colonel Forbes Leslie: Two of th e ca i rns were situated on a piece of rough w hinny ground on t he farm of Blind well. They were low circular structur es o f no great size. In the first a small cist was found, containing only a quantity of calcined bones. In the second, a eist was found which contained a n urn with portions of bones and fragments of a curious jet necklace. A similar cairn on the same slope was recently opened and found to contain a large urn in the centre. The urn contained a quantity of bones. The third cairn now opened was i n th e m iddl e a i a cultivated field, and it appeared to have been surrounded by a row of large boulders, and to have had a raised inner circular platf orm. Nothing was discovered beyond a deposit in the latter space, of which fragments of bones and burned matter only remained. A cairn similar in its arrangement to the last was placed on the adjoining f arm o f Burreldales, and was recently removed. It was examined by Mr Chalmers, Who has described the results in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland. Some vestiges of Druidical circles occur in the neighbourhood, as well as traces of the hut circles of the people, who had selected the dry slopes of those now fertile braes as the site for their abode, as well as of their final resting places, It would appear that some of the bodies in the cairns had been burned. and others not ; while some of the banes appeared to be thcse of the lower animals. The second digging took place on the 14th instant in a remark able cairn on the farm of W arrackstene, in the parish of Tullynessle. It was a flat circular structure, su rr ounded with big stones in the foundation, depressed towards the centre, and having, raised all round, a ridge towards the circumference. In this ridge, at different places, four elate were discovered, formed of large slabs. In most of them urns were found. At two spots on the south side large runs, inverted, containing incinerated bones, were found, i without cists, in holes formed n the stones and subsoil; and at two other spots higher up in the cairn, small cavities of irregular form were noticed, in which wore bones which did not seem to have been burned. In the centre of the cairn, deposits of burned matter, containing bones, were found. One of the large urns was decorated with a pro jecting zig-zag band, in great relief with other patterns commonly found on cinerary urns," A Strange Fish. Mr Francis, piscienitural director of the Acclimatisation r Society, writes to the Times, intimating the arrival of that remarkable and valuable fish the silurus glanis in England as a fact worthy of being made known to the public : " It is more than 100 years (he says) since any new fish has been acclimatised in England, and a very much longer period since any fish of equal value has been brought into this country to be acclimatised; indeed, it is a question whether any animal since perhaps the introduction of the turkey has been brought here likely to equal the silurus in importance. One of the greatest wants hitherto felt in this country has been a good lake fish that might be turned to account, in order that the huge waste of water with which our islands abound might be properly stocked and employ, d, This want the silurus seems likely to meet; indeed it is almost the only fish we could have procured which could meet it. Growing to an enormous size, even to 200113. or 2001 b. in weight, where space and food are plentiful, it neverthless ip ponds preserves its fine flavour. It feeds ravenously upon the coarser kinds of fish, but of all food prefers frogs. We have undoubtedly vast quantities of frogs in this country, which are not used by us in any way as a medium either of food or of producing food, and so rapid is the growth of the silurus that it has been known to reach the enormous weight c f 54 b. in four years. "Its flesh somewhat resembles veal in appearance, and partakes of the rich flavour of the eel. All Englishmen who have partaken of it unite in averring that it is superior even to our own noble salmon. The above facts I have from Sir Stephen Lakeman, to whose enterprise, energy, and deter mination the introduction of the silurus is duo. It need not be pointed out that if we can replaoe the worthless carp and roach with which our large sheets of water are infested with a fish of this character, the gain to us will be very great. Sir Stephen Lakeman brought these fish from Ko • pacheni, where he has an estate on the banks of the Argisch, which is a tributary of the Danube, and is about ten miles from Bucharest—a distance of 1,800 miles. Tho labour of transporting them hither was enormous. He started from Kophcheni on the 23d of Angus', and brought these fish by Bucharest to Girgevo, a distance of 50 miles; thence by steamer to Basias (in Transylvania), and by rail to Pesth, Vienna, Nuremberg, Cologne, Brussels, and Boulogne to London, and thence to Twickenham. Many times his charge was upon the point of being shipwrecked, but was saved by his indomitatle energy and perseverance. To combat the carelessness, and in some places even the positive disfavour of railway officials, incessant attention was required. He started with 36 silurus and some tiger eels—a remarkable and valuable fish peculiar to the Danube. Some of the siluruses were of large size, up to 61bs ; they were conveyed in casks about the size of quarter-casks placed upon rockers; these, by keeping the casks constantly in motion, plashed and aerated the water. The larger fish were suspected, no doubt with justice, of having eaten the smaller ones, and with them the tiger eels. They all died, however, but 14, which arrived here safely on the night of Thursday, the 15th, in the charge of Sir Stephen and thy friend Mr Lowe, one of the secretaries of the Acclimatisation Society. The little strangers varied from one t) two OZ3. in weight; they were perfectly healthy and lively, and after their long fast of 23 days they made good use of their time when enlarged, as on the next day, when I examined them, their stomachs were distended with food. "They have now been in my charge a week, and are ex ceedingly healthy and vigorous. They are a peculiar fibh, resembling in their habits the burbot, which I have also hal charge of here, They hide themselves by day and roam about for food at night. I have no doubt that the attempt to introduce them will be thoroughly successful. VIVA TL PAPA-RE I—lt appears certain, says the Saturday _Review, that, after so many delays, after so many shiftings backwards and forwards, the Emperor has determined to take a decisive step towards withdrawing the French troops from Rome. A Convention is stated to have been actually signed between him and the King of Italy. The Constitutionnel, which is said in Paris to be not so ranch a journal as a Pythoness. has delivered an oracular utterance, and its utterance happens to be perfectly intelligible. The terms of the agreement are made known, The I'ope is to retain his present territory, and the Italian Government undertakes, not only not to invade it, but to oppose any force that may seek to invade it. It gives, in fact, a guarantee against the action of the revolutionary party in Italy, and it pledges itself that, even if Garibaldi is at the head of the invading forces, there shall be another Aspromonte. Further, Italy engages to become responsible for a portion of the debt of the Papal States, answering to the value of the Papal territory which has fallen into her hands. The Pope is to be allowed to raise as large an army as he pleases, and devout Frenchmen are to be per mitted like the rest of the faithful, to rush to the defence of the head of their religion. Lastly, the Italian Government undertakes to fix the capital of united Italy at Florence, and thus to abandon, in principle, that selection of Rome as the only pos , ible capital which Cavour brought his countrymen to accept as a political axiom. These can be no doubt that this is a compromise which hard necessity has gradually induced the Italians to listen to. It is very different from the programme held out a year or two ago. Then the Italian Parliament was to meet under the shadow of the Capitol, the reign of priests was to be over, and the Pope was to wander in his luxurious gardens, surveying with a gentle and wondering patience the ruins, not only of Imperial, but of Pontifical Rome. It was sup posed that the Popo would be, in the Vatican, very much what the Archbishop of Canterbury is at Lambeth. The English Primate has a fine old house, and a good library, and shady antique gardens ; he is honoured by his servants and the clergy; he is welcomed in the palace of his Sovereign, he heads the proclamations of religious societies; but if he wants to know where real power lies, he must look across the river to the gilded towers of the Houses of Parlia ment. This was the dream of Italian patriots, perhaps of Cavour, possibly even of the Emperor himself. But Catho - licism has been too strong fur the accomplishment of such a schem'. The great world of Roman faith will not tolerate that its head should sink into the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It insists that the Pope shall not be merely a spiritual chits', but shall have a visible and temporal sovereignty. DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND—AT WHIST. The late Cabinet of Lord Derby contained some good players, Two of the Secretaries of State were actually fine players, and ono of them adds whist to accomplishments which would have made their pos sessor an Admirable Crichton, if genius had not elevat e d hi m i nto a far loftier category than Crichton belongs to. Rechberg plays l well, and likes his game ; but he is in whist, as are all Germans,. a . thorough pedant. I remember an incident of a his . whist life sufficiently amusing in its way, though, in relation, the reader loses what to myself is certainly the n whole t pungency of the story : I mean the character and whoure of per son who imparted the anecdote to me, endaboutethe most perfect specimen of that self-possession, is hich we call coolness,. the age we live in can boast of. lown that, in a very varied and somewhat extensive exp . erience of men in many countries, I never met one who so completely fulfilled all the requisites of temper, manner, face, courage , and self-reliance, which make of a human being the most un abashable and unemotional creature that walks the earth. I tell the story as nearly as I can he related it to me. " I used to play a good deal with Rechberg," said he, " end took pleasure in worrying him, for ho was a great purist in his play, and was outraged with anything that could not be sustained by an authority. In fact, each game was followed by a discussion of full half an hour, to the intense mortifi cation of the other players, though very amusing to me, and offering me large opportunity to irritate and plague the Austrian. One evening, after a number of these discussions, in which Rechberg had displayed an even unusual warmth and irritability, I found myself opposed to him in a game, the interest of which had drawn around us a large assem bly of spectators—what the French designate as la galarie Towards the conclusion of the game it was my turn to lead, and I played a card which so astounded the Austrian Mini ster, that he laid down h s cards upon the table and stared fixedly at me. " In all my experience of whist," said he de liberately, " I never saw the equal of that." "Of what ?" asked I. " Of the card you have just played," rejoined he. "It is not merely that such play violates every principle of the game, but it actually stultifies your own combinations." "I think differently, Count," said I. "I maintain that it is good play, and I abide by it," " Let us decide it by a wager," said he. "In what way ?" " Thus—we shall leave the question to the g alerie. You shall allege what you deem to be the reasons for your play, and they shall decide if they accept them as valid." " I agree. What will you bet ?" " Ton napoleons—twenty, fifty, five hundred if you like I" cried he, warmly. "I shall say ten. You don't like losing, and I don't want to punish you too heavily." "There is the jury, sir," said he, haughtily, "make your case." " The wager is this," said I, " that, to win, I shall satisfy these gentlemen that for the card I played I had a suffi cient and good reason." " Yes." "My reason was this, then—l looked into your hand 1" I pocketed his ten nape. Icons, but they were the last I won of him, Indeed, it took a month before he got over the shock.—Cornelius 0' Dowd CANNIBALISM IN AUSTRALIA.—ABrisbine paper, the North Australian, says—Sergeant Hill, who has just arrived on escort from Maryborough, has made some strange revelations to us, which illustrate the amiable pro pensities of the aborigines of this country. He happened to visit a paddock on the outskirts of Maryborough some short time since, in company with Mr Carrington, clerk of petty sessions. Some 400 of the natives had enc , untered a party of the Miall tribe in their customary mode of warfare Our informant states that on the occasion of his visit they were celebrating tho victory of the day before by broiling the carcase of a defunct Mien, who had met with the severe misfortune of having a native spear driven through his heart. The cannibals like their meat underdone. They are dainty epicures. The deceased wretch was disembowelled in the first place and his entrails placed in a dilly bag, which was immediately shouldered by a native hag. A fire was then kindled, and the body was thrown thereon. After frizzling for a few minutes a common descent was made upon it—a cannibal scramble in fact. The carcase was severed into 50 , parts, and in its raw condition was devoured without the slightest affectation or sympathy, nausea, shame, or indig , nation. The bones were picked very clean, and the result was a splendid skeleton. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSA_LL'S—LAST EVENING.

A cloudy morning yesterday was succeeded by a most lovely afternoon, gladdened by the genial warmth of a delightful autumn sun; and a considerable number of persons were on the ground, the Emperor and Prince Imperial being among the company. With the exception of the Prix du Prince Imperial, which gave Vermouth and Fille de l'Air an opportunity of once more meeting on equal terms, the business of the day was without interest and the fields small. The first event on the card was the Prix Principal, which brought out only three runners, Guillaume le Taciturne being made favourite at evens. Beatrix, however, with an advantage of 271 b for one year in age, had the race to herself, and ran over the two miles and a half in front, and won easily. The selling race which came next was decided in fav,ur of M. Aumont's Dame Blanche by a neck, after a good contest over the last quarter of a mile with Mdlle. Duchesnois. The winner was taken by M. Desvigncs for 4,625 E, being 1,625 f. over the price at which she might have been had. The Prix de Madrid, for horses which had not run on any of the prin cipal courses in France during the present year, was an easy victory for M. Lupin's Bartavelle, who in this race made her first appearance in public. The Prix du Prince Imperial followed, for which Vermouth found plenty of backers at 7to 4. The crack was, however, bowled over by the Oaks' winner, who took up the running just when she pleased, and won with pounds in hand. The two have now ran together four times, each having scored two vic tories. The business terminated with the Prix d'Automne, for which four came to the post, and which fell to the lot of Count de Lagrange with la Reine Berthe, being the third prize carried off by his stable during the day.

The three others ran abreast to the corner, where Scosvola parted company, and Reine-Bertbe and Obligation raced home together, the former winning by a short length. THE NOSES OF BROUGHAM, NAPIER, CRIIIR SHANKS, DICKENS, AND THACKERAY. Lard Brougham's eminent nose is perhaps the best known of any in this generation. Innumerable caricatures have made it celebrated everywhere. It is slightly bent upwards, and has a defiant and combative expression ; tut its end is decidedly cogitative, its nostrils wide and full of character. To its partly turned up style no doubt his lordship owes that in satiable industry and curiosity which has made him explore all science, and has rendered him eminent in law, politics, and literature; to its cogitative character, that boldness of thought, and noble defiance of oppression and wrong, and that far-seeing depth, which ho has every exercised happily for the benefit of humanity. It is a nose far above par. Perhaps the most obtrusively aquiline nose that ever was seen was that of the conqueror of Scinde, the late Sir Chas. Napier. The organ itself was prodigious; it was a Squire of-the-Wood's nose, one not really seen in a life time else where, and the energy which accompanied it was as prodi gious. But the nose was far from Jewish. It was aquiline, not pendulous, thin at the end, and fine and thin in the nt tril. George Cruikshank, the artist, who bore some simila rity to the general, has also a fin© aquiline nose ; and it is curious that in the Indian army Napier used to bear the sobriquet of " 011 Fagin," whilst Cruikshank, who illus trated Dickens's fiction so admirably, copied the face of the Jew from his own, sitting before a glass for the first study of those etchings which, embodying the idea of the author. made the first issue of " Oliver Twist" so popular and so highly prized. Charles Dickens', when young, may be cited as the possessor of an aquiline nose. Dickens's has grown to be somewhat more than it was in Maclise's portrait, and is now to be classed as cogitative. Of his late rival's nose we would say little : it has been the causa tcterrima Belli. —About in the World. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A POLICE SERGEANT.— On Sunday morning la s t an a t roc i ous a tt emp t t o mur d er Police - sergeant Danby, of the Lincoln county constabulary, was made by a man named Wm. Wilson, a shoemaker. It appears that at an early hour in the morning Danby was on duty in the village of Saxilby, near Lincoln, and when near the house of a man nam e d H arr i son th oug ht he saw a man in the garden lying down. lie went to the spot and found it was Wilson, an unusually powerful fellow. The officer, suspecting all was not right, at once seized him, and they had a tremendous scuffl3, both of them falling to the ground ; but Wilson, being the strongest, was uppermost. The fellow then battered the officer about the head, and struck him violently several times with his fist until he was nearly choked with his own blood. Wilson then put his hand in his pocket and took out an ordinary clasp knife, which he deliberately opened, Denby being so exhausted that he had no power to prevent it. Danby, however, said, " Pray, don't use that ; for God's sake put it by." And after some hesitation ho shut the knife again and put it in his pocket. A short time afterwards, however, ho again took the knife out and commenced to cut and slash at the officer, saying he would do fcr him. Ho cut completely through the great coat and stock, making altogether five wounds, one of which was an inch deep and an inch and a half wide, the jugular vein being just missed. When the prisoner inflicted this wound he actually wriggled the knife about, causing excruciating pain. Wilson then got up and made off, but Danby follows i and caught him, and another struggle took place. The noise, however, aroused Mr Har rison, who opened his hereon] window and saw what was taking pl ace , an d s h ou t e d out to the fellow to desist. when ho at once ran away. Tho officer went home, and two me dical men were soon in attendance —they dressed the wounds, and expressed an opinion that, providing erysipelas does not set in, Danby will rec over. The same morning Wilson was apprehended, an d it was ascertained that he and two other men also in custody had during tho night stolen some fowls belonging to Mr Drury, farmer. On Monday they were taken before Colonel Ellison—Wilson on the charges of attempted murder and fowl stealing, and the other two for fowl stealing alone, and were remanded until Friday next.

CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS, The following telegram has been received at Mr Reuter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental Steens Navigation Company:— MARSEILLES, SBPT. 26. The Euxine, with the above mails, arrived here at 10 a.m. to-day. The mails will leave for London at 11.30 a.m. Examination of Muller at Bow Street, The following is a continuation of the evidence adduced at the examination yesterday : Inspector Kerressey, of the K division of police—On the 10th July, about nine in the morning, I went to the Bow station and there I saw a first class carriage, No. Md. I observed the hot Ile of the door of the off side was bloody, I then went to No 5, Clapton-square, and saw Mr Briggs. I examined his hands carefully to ascertain 'whether there were marks of blood thereon. I found none. I noticed a hook on Mr Briggs's waistcoat, which was taken our by Mr Briggs, jun., and delivered to me. I now produce it, I also produce the gold chain Mr Death identili, , s. I re ceived it from that gentleman. I also got a smaller ring, which I produce, from Sergeant Prescott. By Mr Beard—l first saw Mr Briggs about nine o'clock on the morning of Sunday the 10th. Mr Francis Toulmin—l reside at Lower Clapton, and I am a surgeon. I was the medical attendant of the late Mr Briggs. I was called to him on Sunday morning, 10th of July, between two and three o'clock. Ile was then lying at the Mitford public-home. He was removed under my supetintendence from there to his own house between six and eight o'clock in the morning. 1 saw him again at, his own house at nine. I saw him repeatedly during the day on which he died. lie expired about a quarter to 11 on Sunday night. I afterwards made a post mortem examina tion of the body on the 12th. Mr Brereton and other enedical men were present. On the left ear was a jagged wound which divided the cartlidge. Anterior to that was a deep wound nearer the eyebrow, which penetrated to the bone, but which was subsequently found not to have entered the cavity cf the cranium. On his scalp were several incised wounds, most of them about three quarters of au inch in length. _ Sir Flower—When you say several, do you know how many there were ? . _ _ Wltness—Four of five, one was three inches in length. On removing the scalp Ihe skull was found to be exten sively fractured, the fissures extending in various directions. The temporal bone was found driven in and comminuted. Blood was found in considerable quantity between the dura mater and the Wain. No disease was discovered. The heart, lungs, and liver were quite healthy. Mr Giffard—What was the cause of death ? Witness—Fracture of the skull and concussion of the brain. Mr Giffard—Could you form any opinion how the injuries were inflicted ? Witness—l should say they were inflicted with a blunt instrument forcibly used. By Mr Beard—Mr Briggs was moved by my direction from the Mitford Arms in a dhoolie, or kind of ambulance. I don't know that the medical gentlemen who were present at the post-mortem disagree with me in my conclusion. There was grit about the wound on the ear. My attention was not drawn to n stone on the six-foot way. I did not try whether that stone fitted into any of the marks on the head of dcceastd. Mr Giftard—lf the blows had been struck in the carriage and the blood had fliwed would not grit adhere if the body had fallen from the carriage? Witness—Yes. Mr Beard—Might not the wound on the temple be caused by the stone referred to ? Witness—Certainly, if the deceased in falling from the carriage struck on the stone it might produce the wound I have referred to. Mr Giffard—Supposing the wound on the temple was made with the stone, would that cauee the other wounds you found on the head. Witness—Certainly not. That would be simply im possible. By Mr Beard—l read my post mortem notes over to Mr Breretcn and Mr Hooper, and no direct exception was taken to them by either of those gentlemen. I did not ask either of them to sign my notes. I read it over to them and they made no objection to them. I don't know that they dis agree with my conclusions. - Mr Alfred 13rereton, surgeon, said—l saw the late Mr Briggs previous to his death. I went to the spot where Mr Briggs was found lying, and there I found the gravel moistened with blood. About the spot we found a round stane in the centre of the blood stain. The stone had blood and hair upon it. Mr Cooper has that stone in his possession. I afterwards examined a first-class railway carriage at the Bow station. The witness hero gave a descri, tion of the interior of the railway carriage, which vas precisely similar to that given by the railway guard. Mr Gifford—Did you take any part in the poet morteut examination ? Witness—No. Mr Giffard—Did you observe it sufficiently to speak to the cause of death ? Witness—Yes. ' Mr GiffOrd—What, in your judgment, was the cause of death ? Witness—Fract ure of the skull producing compression of the brain. Mr Flower—Upon which side of the carriage was the greatest quantity of blood? _ _ - NVitness—Onthe near side, that is the seat next to th 3 engine. The blood filled up the cavities made in the cushion by the buttons. Inspector Tanner, of the detective police—l have the conduct of this matter by direction from Sir R. Mayne. On the 19th of July last I left London in company with Sergeant Clark, for New York. When the Victoria arrived there on the 25th of August, I found the prisoner on board. I placed him with nine other men in tho saloon of the ship, leasing Islr. Death on the deck. That gentleman went below and pointed out the prisoner, and said " This is the man from whom I received the chain." I afterwards, on the same morning, spoke to the prisoner relative to a ring. I had told him I was an officer in the police force in Lon don, and I held a warrant charging him with the murder of Mr Briggs. That he was about to undergo an exami nation in America, but that ultimately he would have to go to England with me as a prisoner to answer the charge. I then said " Have you stated that you have lost a ring?" "Yes, sir, not lost it, but it must have been stolen from my pocket." I asked what sort of a ring it was, as I would endeavour to have it found. He said "A gold ring, with a white stone in it, with a head engraved on it. I bought it in Cheapside. I gave 7s. 6,1. for it, but I don't know the name of the shop." The ring was not found. I took pos session of the prisoner's effects on board the Victoria. I heard the witness Gifford describe one of the parcels brought by the prisoner to.the decks previous to the sailing of the ship. I have been unable to discover anything of that kind. Prisoner said all his things were in a black box, which on opening was found to be about a quarter full. Mr Beard-1 suppose there will be no objection to grant ing us an examination of the letters and papers found in the prisoner's box. Mr Giffard —I cannot give any promise of that kind at present, but I have no doubt every opportunity will be given to the gentlemen conducting the defence. Mr Giffard—That, sir, forms the whole of the evidence I intend to offer on the present occasion, and on it I ask you to commit the prisoner for trial, Mr Beard—l shall offer no opposition to such a course. I shall reserve the defence of the prisoner until a future occasion. Mr Flower (to prisoner)—As a mere matter of form, I ask you if you have anything to say against being com mitted for trial. You have s legal adviser, and therefore you abide by what he says; but I ask the question as a mere matter of form. Prisoner—l have nothing to say now, sir. The whole of the witnesses were then formally bound over to appear at the next cessions of the Central Ciimim I Court, to which place the prisoner was fully committed on charge of wilful murder. The prisoner during the whole of the five hours' exami nation conducted himself with the greatest coolness and self-possession ; so much so, indeed, that it created the utmost surprise in the wind of every person in court, Foreign Mail Packet List.

ACCIDENT TO AN EXPRESS TRAIN.—An accident, happily unattended with fatal consequences, but which created groat alarm among the passengers, occurred yesterday at an early hour to the down morning express boat train on the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. This train left Victoria and Blackfriars Stations at 7 a an ,and having amalgamated at Herne Hill, proceeded on its journey for Dover. Atter passing through Sydenhara Hill tunnel, the train ran by Penge Station, and was travelling over the slight embankment about a quarter of a mile be yond this spot, when, from some hitherto unexplained cause, the engine left the rails, and, after running for 200 yards over the sleepers and permanent way, fell upon its side down the embankment, dragging with it a second class carriage, in which were three or four passengers, in cludingone of the company's workmen—a gas-fitter—whose leg was broken. The passengers in the first-class carriages, of whom there were about 30, escaped injury—these car riages not having left the line—except one, an Engineer officer stationed at Chatham, whose skin WIAS graz.A. The driver and stoker of the engine heroically stuck to their posts, and were both slightly hurt ; but the guard was able to proceed to Dever with most of the passengers in a specia train which was seat down from Viei eria iumaaliately upon telegraphic notice of the accident reaching London.
